Chapter 338: The Holy Path of Molten Abyss: White Tiger Sword Dance
In Lijia Village, Jiang Caier's face also froze. She couldn't stand Luo Feifei, but at this moment, she suddenly felt a little worried.
"This little girl is so decisive. She actually crossed the passage resolutely. How dangerous it must be on the other side."
"Can she come back alive and snatch my husband from me?"
“Is there still a chance?”
"Maybe she wants Li Xiang to remember her forever in this way?"
"Alas, why did it come to this?" Jiang Caier sighed heavily, without any joy of "winning". The little resentment she had towards Li Xiang and Luo Feifei fighting together also disappeared.
…
The aurora in Antarctica was bright, and the interwoven blue and red light bands covered the entire ice field like a net in the sky, and the world returned to peace.
However, Li Xiang noticed that the figures of the old man in the robe, Emperor Long Ling and Fairy Wen Shu were becoming increasingly faint. Li Xiang couldn't help but ask with concern: "Are the three seniors okay?"
The old man in imperial robes waved his hand, indicating that it was okay.
Emperor Long Ling and Fairy Wen Shu did not say anything, and Li Xiang knew that they were probably very weak at the moment, perhaps because they had lost too much essence before, and probably needed to fall into a deep sleep again. So he hurriedly said, "I'm fast, I'll take you three back."
The three did not refuse, but just nodded slightly.
Soon, Li Xiang sent the three earth vein spirits back to their residences one by one, and bowed to express his gratitude. Li Xiang decided that he would not disturb them for a long time in the future unless necessary.
These three predecessors infused their own original power into the center of the formation for the safety of the earth. They made great sacrifices, and Li Xiang respected them very much.
…
The Antarctic space rift closed, and the high temperature naturally receded. This year's winter came earlier than in previous years. With the arrival of the cold wave, the glaciers recondensed, the sea level slowly dropped, and some submerged cities emerged from the water.
The whole world rejoices, praising the armored man and calling him a savior hero.
European and American netizens: "That Chinese armored man single-handedly solved a crisis that even nuclear bombs couldn't handle! Our president should give him a medal!"
"He brought the flooded New York coastline back to light, and my apartment was saved!"
"From the Yellow River governance to the Antarctic rescue, Li Xiang is a true global guardian! #东方超人#"
Japanese netizens: "Thanks to him for stopping the expansion of the Antarctic rift, otherwise we would slide into the Mariana Trench faster!"
African netizens: "NATO's bombing of the cracks has accelerated the disaster by 7%, and in the end it will be up to the Chinese extraordinary people to clean up the mess."
Russian netizens: "The president of the beautiful country said he wants to 'pardon zero-dollar purchases'? It's so funny, do the armored people need their pardon?"
Indian netizens: "We are the most sensible. We offer our gifts voluntarily, but other countries are stingy. The value of the little supplies that the gods have plundered from you is far less than what we have saved this time. It should be ten times more."
Environmentalists: “Although the glaciers have recovered, humans should reflect on how to avoid the next catastrophe.”
A researcher netizen said: "What's the 44.4℃ high temperature during the Qianlong period in history? Even Antarctica has melted this time!"
Climate joke: "The glaciers are recovering so quickly that a polar bear called and asked, 'Can you melt a little more? I just bought some swimming trunks.'"
"When the dam gates were lowered today, I kissed the newly exposed windmill base." A Dutch netizen posted a photo of the newly exposed windmill with the caption "Thanks to the Chinese client for changing the requirements."
The Dutch Ministry of Water Resources has just released data showing that the sea level has returned to the level before the heavy rain. At the same time, the country awarded Li Xiang the Orange Royal Lion Medal! In the video, many Dutch citizens danced the traditional wooden shoe dance in front of the Central Railway Station, which had just emerged from the water, while an accordion version of "Yellow River Cantata" was played in the background.
This video was spread to China and many Chinese netizens liked it.
Luo Feifei's choice has become a symbol of "heroic narrative" that transcends national boundaries - some people regard her as a martyr, while others firmly believe that she will return in the sequel.
Across the globe and on all continents, many cosplayers have created replicas of the electric phantom armor and jumped into the fountain, imitating Luo Feifei's posture of jumping into the crack.
The popularity of this live broadcast has lasted for a long time, and related videos have been edited and spread everywhere.
Domestically, no, netizens all over the world have paid unprecedented attention to Li Xiang's team.
"Li Xiang's team is truly a great group!"
Luo Feifei’s self-media account has many fans signing in and leaving messages every day to show their concern for her status.
"The most beautiful girl in the universe, the most beautiful goddess of war, jumped into the tunnel and died? Please let the authorities know the news!"
However, the beauty was gone, and Li Xiang didn't know whether she was alive or dead. He was very worried: "Don't worry, I will take good care of your mother."
Lijia Village is flooded with tourists every day and has become a holy place.
Many people want to move here when the end of the world comes. Unfortunately, Li Xiang’s team has not yet announced the application method and admission requirements for underground city residents.
…
The news that the end of the world is approaching has spread all over the world.
Although there were rumors before, there are too many predictions about the end of the world every year, so not many people believe it. But after this battle, almost everyone is convinced. With the endorsement of the most powerful armored man on earth, what else is there to doubt? At the same time, global real estate prices plummeted and stock markets fell sharply.
It's almost the end of the world. The whole world has started or is preparing to start building shelters and moving underground. Who would buy houses on the ground? The world will be in turmoil, and many companies will probably go bankrupt, and those stocks will naturally become worthless.
The Chinese government took the lead in launching a "trade-up policy", which means that one can use the real estate on the ground to purchase the real estate in the underground shelter at a certain discount.
"Oh my god, is it possible to play like this?" Some netizens were shocked and couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"I originally thought that when the end of the world came, everyone would go underground and become the proletariat. But after all this time, those who have houses in the underground city still have an advantage."
"What else? If there is no such policy, society will probably be even more chaotic. Why should the efforts of several generations be wiped out when the end of the world comes?"
"Even if it disappears, it will take some time. In troubled times, heroes emerge. I believe that many people from the lower classes will rise. Especially those with a talent for cultivation, they will become the new elite."
"I really wish I had the talent for cultivation. It's a pity that I have to wait until the end of the world to find out." Li Xiang also announced some entry-level breathing methods and ancient physical techniques that can be used to practice the way of cultivation, so that all those who are willing to practice can start practicing first. However, if you want to step into the realm of transcendence, you still have to wait for the end of the world to come and for transcendent particles to appear on Earth.
Although Li Xiang has many magical medicines, he can't supply so many people on Earth. He can only take care of those who are close to him first.
Or someone who has a talent for cultivation and has a connection with you.
As for how fate works, that naturally depends on Li Xiang’s own selection.
At one time, many people came to pay homage to him. However, none of them saw Li Xiang. Lei Jiaming and others maintained order, and those people could not interfere with the normal life order of Lijia Village. Instead, they brought a lot of traffic to Lijia Village.
"I really envy the villagers in Lijia Village and the surrounding areas. It is said that people from all over the country can stay in the shelter provided by Xiangge'er for free. Maybe only three out of ten places will be open to the public. I guess everyone will fight for it by then."
"Of course not. Living in the Lijia Village Shelter is the safest place in the world."
"If anyone has a child who is admitted to Tsinghua University, they can go for the wife route and try to perform better so that they can enter Jiang Caier's laboratory. Then they will definitely move in with her."
What surprised the world was that while the real estate bubbles in various countries had burst one after another, China had a new wave of bubbles. Many underground cities had not yet been built, but the pre-sale houses had already started to be sold, and the lot numbers had to be drawn by lottery.
Although the country has stated that everyone can live in the underground city, the houses in the underground city are of varying quality, size, and location. Resources are limited, so naturally countless people will compete for the good houses. There is no other way but to solve the problem through lottery.
However, many people abroad have land and build their own shelters. However, the safety of self-built shelters is definitely not as good as this large underground city protected by national power.
In addition, China's underground cities are designed with dense subway lines. Maybe there will be interruptions in the future, such as monster attacks, tunnel collapses, etc., but designing subways to ensure support between bases and the flow of personnel and materials is definitely beneficial.
Li Xiang and his team had done such a great thing, so rewards followed.
Although Luo Feifei is not in this world for the time being, there is no evidence that she has sacrificed her life, so she does not have the title of "martyr". Instead, her military rank has been promoted two levels.
As for Li Xiang, he only rose one level. There was no other way. The higher you go, the slower you rise, because you will reach the limit after a few more rises.
However, the country also gave Li Xiang some other honorary titles as compensation, such as "National Defender", "Special Contribution Award for Mountain and River Reshaping", "Lifetime Achievement Award from the Ministry of Water Resources", and the title of "Pioneer in the Extraordinary Field" and the founder of the discipline (honorary chairman of a new discipline specially established by the Ministry of Education, and a bronze bust of him was erected in Tsinghua University). The "National Defender" award should be the most valuable, and he enjoys special status and treatment, and it goes without saying that he will be recorded in history.
At the award ceremony, Li Xiang was wearing a neat military uniform, with the array of medals on his chest sparkling under the spotlight. The stage was filled with dignitaries and media reporters from all walks of life, and the camera captured a close-up of his calm profile as he nodded slightly in greeting.
After this video was leaked, countless new fans of Li Xiang were created around the world. Many girls put Li Xiang's posters on their bedside tables and look at them before going to sleep every day.
There is no doubt that Li Xiang has become the most popular celebrity in the world.
In addition, there is the International Medal of "Earth Ecological Guardian" (specially awarded by the United Nations Environment Programme in recognition of its feat of preventing the invasion of Antarctic aliens and restoring the global ecology), as well as medals of honor awarded by some other countries.
In the previous flood rescue operations, Yao Yao and Lei Xiaohui had made great contributions and were promoted to major and captain respectively. However, Zhao Xueqing's contributions were not inferior to theirs, so Zhao Xueqing became "lieutenant colonel", while Yao Yao and Lei Xiaohui still lagged behind.
Then Lei Jiaming, Xu Xuan and others were also promoted, so I won’t list them one by one.
…
In the space turbulence, endless purple-black arcs were running around, and Luo Feifei was electrocuted to the point of numbness and dizziness. Fortunately, the Lightning Phantom Armor automatically protected its master, absorbing and spitting out endless electric light, and filling the armor with electricity, forming a layer of dark blue energy barrier, resisting most of the erosion of the space turbulence.
"Boom——" The sky was spinning and the earth was spinning. She fell like a meteor and hit a pile of hot rocks.
"Hiss..." Luo Feifei sucked in a breath of hot air in pain, her throat instantly burning. She barely propped herself up and looked around -
Mercury silver liquid metal flowed in the cracked lava lines on the ground. In the distance stood a tower made of countless vertebrae. It was the skeleton of some strange beast, eerie and terrifying. The air was filled with the smell of sulfur and rotten metal, and every breath was like swallowing a mouthful of fire.
"This damn place..." She grappled and condensed water-based spiritual energy on her fingertips, gently stroking her throat. The cool feeling slightly eased the burning sensation.
Seven or eight kilometers away, the upside-down volcanoes spewed red magma, which went against the laws of physics and flowed upstream into the vortex in the sky. With the volcanoes as the center, a piece of burning earth formed, and dozens of kilometers away, black fog was rolling, just like the apocalyptic scene in the dream.
"The extraordinary particles... are very dense." She sensed it and frowned slightly. "Strange, when the space rift opened before, there were no extraordinary particles pouring into the earth?"
Luo Feifei pondered for a moment and guessed that the extraordinary particles in this world might be bound by some supreme law and could not be easily leaked out. Although the space rift briefly connected the two worlds, the laws of the other world automatically blocked the outflow of energy and prevented the loss of power in this world.
Luo Feifei's eyes were fixed on the largest volcano - a huge monster was squatting like a mountain, red flames flowing through the gaps between its scales, and every breath brought up waves of heat.
“Molten Giant Lizard…” Her pupils shrank slightly. “It’s so huge, could it be of God level? If not, it must be at least a high level Saint level.”
The monitor lizard's mountain-like body rose and fell slightly, and its snoring sounded like thunder, shaking the ground. Every time it inhaled, the surrounding magma was drawn in like a tide, merging into the fire patterns between its scales; every time it exhaled, the hot sulfur breath gushed out, condensed into red crystals in the air, and fell to the ground.
"It's sleeping..." Luo Feifei breathed a sigh of relief, but then became alert, "We can't disturb it, otherwise it will die."
She carefully restrained her breath, with the Abyssal Sea King's Seal suspended in her palm, ready to cast a water barrier to conceal her figure at any time.
"My chance to break through to the Saint level should be in... that tower of bones." Luo Feifei divined again and sensed that since she had come to this world, this "connection" had become even closer.
An image appeared in her mind: there was an ancient altar in the tower of bones, and hidden in the altar was a "Nine Nether Ice Soul", which perfectly matched her water-derived ice ability.
Soon, the picture disappeared, and she felt a slight pain in her head as she returned to reality.
"If I can get it, I believe I will be able to break through to the Saint level soon!" Luo Feifei was secretly excited, and at the same time, carefully moved towards the Tower of Skeletons.
As he was sneaking over and almost reaching the door, the Molten Lizard suddenly opened its eyes.
Luo Feifei was startled, and instantly used the Electric Phantom Armor to create six phantom clones to lure the enemy, while her real body rushed towards the entrance of the Tower of Skeletons at a speed of Mach 9.
With a whoosh, Luo Feifei's real body rushed into the Skeleton Tower, and the roar of the Molten Lizard behind her shook the tower. Naturally, those phantom clones were defeated by the Molten Lizard.
The molten giant lizard roared continuously, but did not chase in. Luo Feifei guessed that it might be because its body was too big, or it was just the guard of the Tower of Babel and did not dare to enter.
The inside of the tower was not an enclosed space as expected, but a vast lava wasteland. The sky was as red as blood. In the distance, an altar towered into the clouds, shrouded in sulfur mist.
"Three hundred miles... all filled with murderous intent." Luo Feifei's fingertips brushed the Abyssal Sea King Seal, and ice-blue light patterns flowed on the surface of the armor. She took a deep breath, and the Lightning Phantom Armor burst into lightning, and her figure rushed towards the altar like an arrow.
After traveling for dozens of miles, the sky suddenly darkened - hundreds of flaming vultures with a wingspan of five meters swooped down, and the fire pillars spewed from their beaks melted the ground into scorched pits. Luo Feifei spun around and threw out nine ice dragons, but they quickly melted under the suppression of the fire law.
"The power of the ice system is halved... so let's just force our way in!" She stomped her toes, and the speed of the Lightning Phantom Armor increased dramatically, and her figure tore a trail of afterimages among the vultures. The vultures collided in the air, exploding into a rain of fire. A vulture attacked from the side, and its sharp claws tore at her back.
Luo Feifei snorted coldly and turned her wrist. A snow-white white tiger sword with a cold blade jumped out from a vortex of spiritual power in her body. The sword tip trembled and there seemed to be a sound of a tiger's roar.
A sharp arc of light flashed.
The sword's edge suddenly emitted a blinding cold light, and the vulture's hard claws were cut off. The blood evaporated due to the high temperature before it could even splatter.
The "Sharp" ability makes her indestructible. These vultures are not much stronger than her.
"slow!"
The air within three feet around her suddenly stagnated, the vultures' movements were like being stuck in a quagmire, but her sword was three times faster.
“Critical hit!”
The White Tiger Sword suddenly burst out with brilliant sword light and pierced through the Vulture King's head. The core exploded and hot energy poured into her body, temporarily strengthening her strength.
Luo Feifei's sword flashed sharply, and after fighting for about half an hour, the flock of vultures was finally defeated.
She snorted softly and continued on her way.
Unfortunately, not long after they walked, the ground shook and three five-meter-tall lava golems crawled out of the magma, their liquid metal bodies reflecting dazzling red light.
The edge of the White Tiger Sword once again glowed with a cold blue light - with the blessing of the "sharp" ability, the sword edge could cut off the core of the element!
The puppet's giant fist smashed down, but became slow in the "slow" force field. Luo Feifei dodged to the side, and the White Tiger Sword pierced out like lightning, accurately piercing the crystal core in the puppet's chest.
"Swish, swish, swish~" Luo Feifei's body movements were like those of a fairy. The White Tiger Sword burst out with dazzling cold light. The cores of the three puppets shattered almost at the same time and turned into obsidian fragments on the ground.
However, these puppets were all very powerful and not much weaker than her. Although the battle just now was short, she had tried her best to burst out. Feeling that the spiritual power in her body was almost exhausted, she hid in a crevice, took out the elixir from the space gem ring, put it in her mouth, and chewed it slowly.
Waves of pure water and ice spiritual energy flowed into her body, and after being refined, they gathered into the spiritual energy vortex, quickly replenishing her spiritual and physical strength. At the same time, some of the shock and hidden injuries she had suffered in the previous battle were also slowly recovering.
"He gave me so many elixirs and extraordinary items, but in the end he married someone else." Luo Feifei was eating Li Xiang's elixirs, and naturally thought of his kindness in her heart, but when she thought that they were not destined to be together, she felt even more sad.
However, Luo Feifei gained many benefits from the series of fierce battles. Her swordsmanship was honed and became more perfect, sharper and more powerful, reaching a higher level.
After recovering to her peak condition, Luo Feifei set out again.
Finally, she approached within a hundred miles of the altar, but suddenly, a purple-black crack suddenly ripped open, and violent space turbulence tore at her armor.
